Overwriting behavior

[danzilio]

Here's my scenario. I have a newly provisioned server with the loopback interface and em4 defined in /etc/network/interfaces. Puppet has never run on this server. I install puppet and it checks in with my puppet master and finds this in its catalog:

network_config { 'em4':
  ensure => present,
  method => manual,
  onboot => false,
}

Sure enough, puppet runs and finds some things about this interface that need to change:

Nov 21 18:42:54 server01 puppet-agent[2147]: (/Stage[main]/Profiles::Server::Interfaces/Network_config[em4]/method) method changed 'dhcp' to 'manual'
Nov 21 18:42:54 server01 puppet-agent[2147]: (/Stage[main]/Profiles::Server::Interfaces/Network_config[em4]/hotplug) hotplug changed '' to 'true'

But, notice, it hasn't changed the onboot status. I check /etc/network/interfaces and it's still listed in the "auto" section. I run puppet resource network_config em4 and it returns:

user@server01:~$ sudo puppet resource network_config em4
network_config { 'em4':
  ensure  => 'present',
  family  => 'inet',
  hotplug => 'true',
  method  => 'manual',
  onboot  => 'true',
}

So I run puppet again:

user@server01:~$ sudo puppet agent -tv

I'm at a loss on this one...
